I took time today to research about this man and why many Igbos adore him...My interest was basically because i have recently been reading biographies and Nigerian political history.
Again, i am married to an Igbo woman i love dearly and despite being born long after the war considers this man Ojukwu a Hero.

I found out from various books written about him that he was a typical Igbo man who will not bow to any man. He also hated injustice and will not be silent when its before his eyes.

I was also astonished to discover that his father Loius was among the top 3 Richest Nigerians at the time. So what will make this man abandon such wealth, join the military and subsequently go to war. There has to be more.

I discovered that his mentors had an overwhelming influence on him while he was in Harvard.

His contemporaries could not handle his intelligence and arrogance.

The gradual regionalization of political parties that started as national parties painted a picture that Nigeria is not one but a British creation. AG was purely a western party, NCNC was Eastern by all ramifications. NPC was more northern like others accross the niger..Ojukwu, though being in the army saw a clear case of struggle for dominance and supremacy originating from the regions to the centre.
The political firmament of Nigeria took off with a picture of regional struggle for dominance and supremacy..
Ojukwu observed and began to plot. I began to research on how Ojukwu was able to establish the Biafran pound in 3 years and traded globally with it. Where was it printed, who designed it and more?..i am a curious researcher of history when am bored...permit me to inform you that the first batch of the Biafran pounds was printed and brought into Biafra before Ojukwu declared secession.

To be continued, i am typing with my phone and tired.

Like the wise man @Built2Last i follow closely in this forum said...never be quick to judge people until you have found out why they did what they did.

Again, he says, before you insult anybody, google your name and that of everyone in your family. If no one has attained the feat of the person you are insulting, then, you are suffering from monumental poverty of Knowledge and irredeemable ignorance.

I look forward to intellectual discuss of our political history and the way forward

There you go showing what you are wired with. Hate. Hate. Hate. The thing about hate is that no prophet or Imam can cure you.

What do you seek to achieve in this rubbish you posted above. I guess to turn this thread into a tribal war. Guy you are more than this. Grow up beyond your age abd size.

What is wrong If Igbos have chosen him as their Hero. Do you chose heros for people. Every great leader i know in History has great mistakes following them to the grave.

He is the;

Anu ana gba egbe ona kpa nri

Dike ji afonu emere bomb

Agu na eje mba lota ma buru ozu ofeke lota

Nwoke ana kpo Mgba Mbga dike

Ogbara nkiti Gowon na ebe

Nwoke igbo nyere Eze chie ya Eze Ndigbo Gburugburu

@op, I feel you bro. Ethnicity has been playing a bad role in NAIJA since time immemorial.

Hausas have always wanted to be heard likewise Yorubas and Igbos.

Ojukwu was only brave enough to put his own into play and today and he was seen as a traitor by Nigeria whereas we are all traitors directly or indirectly.

I think it's too late to unify Nigeria again since the leaders of old couldn't. Things have really gone too wrong now.

By the way, I respect ojukwu for his great taste when it comes to women. Chai, see how elegant that lady was as at that time. The pointed booby alone can make...

Ojukwu d rebel

kestolove95:
Ojukwu d rebel

I'd rather be a biafra girl soilder than serve in the Nigeria army where ethnicity and nepotism is rife

That woman you are looking at there with Ojukwu had PHD in law.

Look at the picture closely the wife has stamina.
This man punished the Igbos. Sorry for una

Ojukwu was never at Havard though, or any other American university for that matter.

The wife has stamina for what exactly?
And why are your leaders punishing almajiris and tens of thousands of beggars in your region even at peace time.Sorry for yourself.

Its left for you to have a sensible mind about this man Ojukwu and what really triggered the Nigeria Civil War, that have wasted many igbos lives by putting them on a line. I am Yoruba and today, I decided to re-read about this Biafra war and why the Nigeria government did not want igbos to leave, because I am tired of Igbo cries and I want Nigeria to break up as well. I went on Wikipedia and to what I can gather about the causes of the war, was that Ojukwu doesnot like the Northerners in Power and he wants the igbos to be charge, due to the natural resource "Oil" is in the Eastern Region. The igbos were collecting Royalties from the Oil production even before the war. Most countries that supported Nigeria Govt. during war, was because of their Nations' interest. Uk was supporting Nigeria Govt cos of their Shell Company, USA was partially supporting Nigeria Govt cos of their Investments in Nigeria, Isreal was supporting Biafra cos of their nations Interest as well. Take a good look at these nations supporting each party, Do you think they give a fkkk about Africans, if they have nothing to gain from us?.( tell me about other Africa civil war and what Europe country give a fkkk, if they have nothing to offer to the Europeans?) Biafra claim they lost due to Starvation, will you feed your opponent when you are fighting, but Biafra refuse to acknowledge the fact that they went to war with less ammunition. Biafra have continue to blame Awolowo for their failure and forget the power of propaganda. We should be more focus on Ojukwu, who rushed the Biafra youths to war without better plan, We should also remember Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, who is power hungry as Ojukwu and he also betrayed his fellow Biafrians, We should talk about how Ojukwu released Banjo to fight his own people. To me, I believe Ojukwu should have been held accountable when he was alive for leading Biafria to war when they are not fully ready, I believe the causes of the war should be more focused on and if Biafra want to create their nation, they should do it in a diplomatic way. I am not been biased in anyway, just according to what I could gather online about the causes of the civil war.

ojukwu is a hero in ibo land ? wonder shall never end i dont know why igbos are always moving to the oposite direction please can you compare ojukwu with Ahmadu Bello or Obafemi Awolowo.the difference is clear.Bello and Awolowo are are great leaders while ojukwu is a rebel that coused the death of millions of his people after he run away from the battle field

He is the coward general of the federation, the only coward man to ever run away from battle field dressed like a perfect ash.ewo with gele. The ediot is rotting in hell now. Respect to Effiong, Achuzua,Banjo,Ifeajuna and other gallant biafra soldier not this child mo.lester.

Impostor, A jobless grown up man forming lady online. You have no shame at all, chai.

He wasted 7 million lives, and so what? Is it your life that waste?
Hate filled parasites?

Ikemba Nnewi was the first graduate to join the NA. He was the first African to attend the prestigious Oxford University.

Ikemba shall be remembered forever for being among the greatest Africans. What he saw 40yrs ago is what people are crying about today. He fought a just war to send a message to the oppressors. UN has seen through what he fought for and have invited Biafran leaders.

Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu the man that saw tomorrow.
